Kicking off our 2021 review of the Browns’ unrestricted free agents is WR Rashard Higgins.
How and When He Joined the Browns: Higgins was a 5th round pick by the Browns in the 2016 NFL Draft, which was the same year that Andrew Berry joined Cleveland’s front office. Even though Berry left Cleveland, he returned last year, which presents a greater chance of that loyalty factor coming into play.
Productivity Level Last Season: After being in the dog house in 2019 with Freddie Kitchens for who knows what reason, Higgins decided to re-sign with Cleveland on a 1-year deal in 2020, hoping that new head coach Kevin Stefanski would utilize his skill set and allow him to have the contract-performing year he was robbed of a season earlier.
